While the world goes totally crazy at the thought of One Direction coming to a country near YOU, bringing with them hip thrusts and velvety vocals, it's important to spare a thought for the 1D GFs who'll be waving their white hankies at the tour bus as it drives off into the sunset.

One gal who's used to the goodbyes is Perrie Edwards, as she and Zayn have had to battle with their jam-packed band schedules for years, and she's been spilling all the beans on how they manage to keep the #Zerrie magic alive in their long-distance relationship.

With the Little Mix girls and 1D boys often not on the same continents, let alone cities, we always thought that Maliko must have to pull out a few romantic gestures every week to keep his lady happy.

But Pezza reckons that talking all the time is the key to their happy relationship. She revealed to UK radio station Key 103 that she and Zayny-pie are always checking in with each other when they're apart: "We just chat every day really."

"Even if he was in London we'd probably talk to each other on the phone every day anyway," she revealed.

UGH the Zerrie feels are strong today, it's enough to warm your hearts right up. They might be two of the most famous pop-sters in the entire world, but they're still so down-to-Earth. Now hurry up and get married please.

Have you ever done the long distance thing? How did you make it work? Dish in the comments!
